Blacksburg, VA: Draper Aden Associates is pleased to announce that it has been recognized as a local "Green Business" by Go Green NRV, an organization designed to encourage local companies to establish and increase sustainable practices in their operations.

Draper Aden Associates completed an extensive checklist outlining the firm's sustainable practices currently in place and those planned for future implantation. Having received "green" recognition, Draper Aden will be required to update their checklist annually and document progress made in their environmental sustainability efforts.

As a founding member of Go Green NRV, Draper Aden Associates assisted in the development of the "Green Your Business" program designed to guide companies in the New River Valley towards progressively increasing sustainable practices in their operations.

Go Green NRV, currently in pilot phase, will open the program to the public in mid-October in conjunction with Sustainability Week in Blacksburg. For additional information about Go Green NRV or Draper Aden Associates' sustainability efforts, contact Barb Wert at bwert@daa.com.
